Issue with bindFromRequest in Play! Framework 2.3

Question

I\'m trying to use the automatic binding feature of Play, without success. I\'m developing in Java, on Eclipse 4.4 Luna.

Here is my form :

Answer 1

In your code you have :

Users u = Form.form(Users.class).bindFromRequest().get(); 

Try with this instead :

Users user = new Users();
Form  u = Form.form(Users.class).fill(user).bindFromRequest();

EDIT :

May be the problem is the input types you're using. Try to generate your form like this :

@form(routes.Backend.createUser()) {

            First Name: @inputText(userForm("first_name")) 

            Last Name: @inputText(userForm("first_name")) 

            Email: @inputText(userForm("email")) 

            Pin: @inputText(userForm("pin")) 

            Status: @inputText(userForm("status")) 

            Is Guest: @checkbox(userForm("is_guest")) 

            
    }

Then in User Entity : try to change all columns type to String

@Entity
public class Users extends Model {

// Database columns
@Id
public int user_id;

public String first_name;
public String last_name;
public String email;
public String pin;
public String status;
public String is_guest;

}

In your controller :

public class Backend extends Controller {

  public static Result createUser() {
    Form  userForm = Form.form(Users.class).bindFromRequest();
    Users user = userForm .get();
    user.save();
}
}
